My GT first grade math wiz has really got to be sharp with his math. I looked at all the math apps and reviews took awhile and settled on Math Races. Check it out. Colorful and not borng like many of the other apps. My son plays several Tower defense games on my Touch so he knows cheezy when he see's it. We have a deal that he 'plays' Math Races for at least 15 minutes or more a day. Check it out.

We have designed all our apps in such a way it is more fun for them and at the same time they get rewarded for their work. After every 5 successful answers kids are rewarded with stickers/cup cakes and other cute graphics
